Juan Manuel Debiedma (born June 21, 1993), also known as Hungrybox (or HBox for short), is an Argentinian American professional Super Smash Bros. Melee player from Orlando, Florida. One of the "Five Gods" of Melee along with Jason "Mew2King" Zimmerman, Joseph "Mango" Marquez, Adam "Armada" Lindgren, and Kevin "PPMD" Nanney, Debiedma has won several major tournaments, including Apex 2010 and EVO 2016. He is widely regarded to be the best Jigglypuff main in the world and has been ranked in the top five in the world every year since formal rankings began in 2013. He reached second in 2015 and 2016, and has won more money in his lifetime playing Melee than anyone with the exception of Adam "Armada" Lindgren. Debiedma also plays Project M and Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, maining Jigglypuff in the former and Mario in the latter. He is a member of Team Liquid.
Hungrybox says that he "got good using gimmicks" and that his hands are not fast enough for technical skill. In 2009, Debiedma placed 3rd at GENESIS 1, his first high placement at a national tournament. He won his first tournament at Revival of Melee 2 later that year. Hungrybox continued to make deep runs in tournaments often finishing 2nd to 5th. In 2014, he placed top three in nine Melee tournaments, including a victory at Fight Pitt V and runner up at EVO 2014. Debiedma believes that he gained more respect in recent years for playing a character once considered gimmicky. In 2015, Debiedma won his first national victory for the year at Paragon after handily defeating Jason "Mew2King" Zimmerman in grand finals.
